This week seriously flew by. As does every other week in the mission, and it's honestly so sad to think. I have thought back recently about how much the Lord loves each of us and how much He is aware of our lives.
Honestly, this week was the fastest, yet hardest weeks of my mission. Sister Caswell and I seriously worked our hardest to focus on our transfer goals. We talked to everyone, but we had many lessons that were "set up."
So the first lesson was on Tuesday, where we had set up this lesson with a guy named Stuart, well he came and brought his girlfriend and his girlfriend brought her friend and they seriously bashed us. We even had a recent convert come and it was honestly the most non-spiritual lesson that we had.
We had many more lessons like this, this week. And you know people are just so hard hearted on the message of the restored gospel.
I have been wondering why the Lord has made Sister Caswell and I go through such a hard week. And that question even goes through asking why we have to go through hard things through life??
Why is that? Well we have to have opposition in all things....
2 Nephi 2:11 For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.
We have to opposition to know the good from the bad.
But I was having a hard week and I decided to pray. And I had one of the most powerful, most spiritual prayers of my life. I prayed to know if Heavenly Father was there and prayed to know if He loved me. Words can't describe what I felt, but I know that Heavenly Father is there and that he is aware of me.
I know that you to can know if Heavenly Father loves you, by praying and asking if he loves you. But don't get up until you receive the answer. I know you can receive it!
I am so grateful for the gospel and for the opportunity to share it with so many people.
Sorry it was a kind of crazy letter, but I know this is the Lords true church and that it has the Fulness of the Gospel.
One question that was said this week was, "Where else would you go...... if you didn't have the gospel??"
Ponder that this week and let me know what your answer would be.
I love you all and pray you all have a wonderful week!
Love,
Sister Pewtress
